Reclaiming my time, I feel bad that we cannot get agreement to add it here as freestanding, because at that point I think we can prevent having an amendment later on. The reason I feel that way is the gentleman from New Mexico and I seem to be agreeing that the reason we got into this in the clinic violence bill last year was that we were afraid localities were not doing their job in some places. Now, the gentleman feels like maybe there is duplication. I do not think that is the issue. The issue is: Are we putting a qualifier on this so that localities can continue to refuse?
